What follows are dark and twisted parodies of these characters. If you came here looking for a happy, honey-loving, bear and his friendly companions, you will be dissatisfied.
Keen to protect Roo as darkness spread throughout the Hundred Acre Wood but uncertain of how, Kanga fled with her son to a hard life in the world beyond. Their experiences were much the same as Tigger’s however, finding only abuse, deception, and suffering. For years Kanga became awash in a vicious cycle of endless toil supported by addictions to at first alcohol but then painkillers, and perhaps worse. She did not allow this to defeat her though and re-found herself in faith, trading one vacuum in life for another.
As his mother struggled to survive and provide for him Roo fell into delinquency, turning into a mean thug with a temper measured in molecules and fueled by booze, cigarettes, and party drugs. Shortly after Kanga’s religious ascent out of addiction he left of his own accord to continue a life on the streets, joining a gang that he now leads and has renamed the Red Robins. He still keeps a distant watch over his mother and when he discovered she was headed back to the Hundred Acre Wood to try and purify their former home, Roo took off after her—as broken as he might be, the protected is eager to become the protector.
